“Aluminating” Can Collecting An insight into the sometimes illegal work of offcampus can collectors Kate Flannery Contributing Writer Can collecting is a loud, grimy business. In order to soften the noise, it helps to hold the plastic bag away from your body; otherwise the stale and dirty beer cans will crash against your legs like clanging cymbals, an unwelcomed noise to the students sleeping off a hangover on Sunday morning.

It doesn’t pay well either. Fifty cans collected from 8-9 a.m. means a little over two dollars an hour. A little over 100 will fit in a trash bag.

Around campus, one collector stands out as a “celebrity” in the community. Students at Santa Clara will tell you he’s a scavenger, a harmless aluminum can collector or even a pest. Most know him as “the can man,” although his California driver’s license lists his name as Ho. It is on the couple of blocks that surround Santa Clara’s campus that Ho is “employed.” But he does not answer to an employer, nor does he have an hourly salary. His tools are his hands and a large plastic bag. His coworker is his wife. Together, he and half a dozen others almost invisibly collect a majority of the recyclable aluminum cans, plastics and glass from the muddy grass and rotting trash bags of Santa Clara’s off-campus inhabitants.

Most weekends, students leave behind a gold mine for Ho and the other collectors who convert the empty cans into money. They will get 5¢ for most glass, plastic and aluminum cans less than 24 ounces. Any larger, certified container will give them 10¢. Yet, based on the four or five bags they typically collect during one “shift,” their earnings will most likely remain under the eight dollar minimum wage and not provide a stable source of income.

California boasts leading a recycling crusade with California Redemption Value. Through CRV, consumers can get money for turning in their recyclables to designated collection centers. Legislature passed the measure back in 1987, starting a movement now taking place in urban cities and smaller towns.

But even though the law makes recycling somewhat profitable, what the scavengers are doing is illegal if the recyclables they are collecting come from someone else’s receptacles, said Yvette Sessions, the database manager at Misson Trail Waste Systems. Once the waste material is in the MTWS or Recology trash and recycling bins, it becomes the company or the city’s property, she explained — meaning that the can collectors are stealing if they are getting materials from them.

Not only is it illegal to take things from the prescribed bins, but it also costs the company that works for both the city of Santa Clara and the university money. In reference to a company policy, Sessions said there are essentially two opSee RECYCLING, Page 3

A can collector reaches into a Mission Trail Waste Systems bin at Bellomy Apartments to collect aluminum cans. Taking cans from company or city bins is illegal, and police response varies based on the severity of the violation or if someone calls to complain. Can collectors can get around $46 from recycling a day’s work.

Emergency Equipment Installed Training sessions planned for any campus member to attend Matthew Rupel The Santa Clara Santa Clara University’s Environmental Health and Safety Department has recently completed installation of new automated external defibrillators located around campus, the same equipment that was used to help resuscitate a student who collapsed after a basketball game last year.

RYAN SELEWICZ — THE SANTA CLARA

Santa Clara EMTs get ready to go out on a call. Senior Andrew Peterson (right), the assistant director of Santa Clara Emergency Medical Services, said that automated external defibrillators are very important.

According to Emergency Planning Manager Mike Taheny, one of the paramedics who transported the student to the hospital said that the quick response was the reason the student survived. “That’s a powerful statement,” said Taheny.

The new AEDs have been installed at many of the major buildings on campus, including the Villas. EHS plans to install more AEDs as campus construction proj-

ects are completed.

The AED systems are simple to use so that most students should be able to operate them in an emergency. Once taken out a start button can be pressed so that the AED will recite step by step instructions in English for its use. The machine then reads See DEFIBRILLATORS, Page 3

James Hill III ADVISERS

1. Exotic animals shot: Sheriff’s deputies shot nearly 50 wild animals — including 18 rare Bengal tigers and 17 lions — in a big-game hunt across the Ohio’s countryside Wednesday after the owner of an exotic-animal park threw their cages open and committed suicide.

As homeowners nervously hid indoors, officers armed with high-powered rifles and shoot-to-kill orders fanned out through fields and woods to hunt down 56 animals that had been turned loose from the Muskingum County Animal Farm by owner Terry Thompson before he shot himself to death Tuesday.

2. Mentally handicapped people locked in basement: Police on Wednesday arrested the daughter of the alleged ringleader of a group of people suspected of locking up four disabled adults in a fetid basement and cashing their Social Security checks.

The landlord of the apartment building in Philadelphia at first thought a circuit breaker had tripped when he went to the basement Saturday and found all the lights were out. He then realized all six bulbs had been removed, and he heard dogs barking inside a boiler room with the door chained shut.

Turgut Gozleveli had stumbled upon four mentally disabled adults, all weak and malnourished, and one chained to the boiler.

3. Remains of Viking ship discovered: Archaeologists said Tuesday they have discovered the remains of a Viking chief buried with his boat, ax, sword and spear on a remote Scottish

peninsula — one of the most significant Norse finds ever uncovered in Britain.

The 16-foot-long (5-meter-long) grave is the first intact site of its kind to have been discovered on mainland Britain, and is believed to be more than 1,000 years old. Much of the wooden boat and the Viking bones have rotted away, but scraps of wood and hundreds of metal rivets that held the vessel together remain.

4. Soldier swap strengthens Israeli-Hamas ties: The release of an Israeli soldier by Hamas as part of a prisoner exchange with neighbor Israel is reshaping complex regional ties, mostly in favor of Gaza’s once isolated Islamic militant rulers.

The swap, mediated by Egypt, has removed a major irritant from its fraught relationship with Israel.

5. Chinese toddler critically injured in hit and run: A video showing a toddler being struck twice by vans, and then ignored by passers-by for an extended period of time is sparking outrage in China and prompting soul-searching over why people didn’t help the child.

The 2-year-old girl is in a coma in critical condition in the Guangzhou Military District General Hospital following Thursday’s accident, state media reported Tuesday. The Guangzhou Daily quoted the hospital’s head of neurosurgery as saying the girl is likely to remain in a vegetative state if she survives.

Student elections for freshman Associated Student Government representatives were held on Monday, with over 1,000 votes cast.

An email was sent to the freshman class on Tuesday morning announcing the winners. The freshman senators for the 2011-2012 school year are: Paulette Rigali, Max Wahl, Matt Reneris, Amanda Bostwick and Drake Bonin.“I hope to make (students’) first year at Santa Clara an unforgettable one,” said Bonin. “I will make the freshman class a voice to be heard, and am always open to suggestions on how we can improve Santa Clara.”

Reneris, who has prior leadership experience, said, “I know that a lot of what I’ll be doing is dependent on which committee I’d be assigned to, but whatever the task, I promise to fulfill my duties to the best of my abilities.”

ASG Vice President Lindsay Gray said, “We can estimate that over 1/5 of the freshmen class cast a vote, which is decent results for an ASG election.”

The Freedom Project: Students Against Human Trafficking, a new student club that focuses on spreading awareness of human trafficking oncampus, will screen the documentary film “The Dark Side of Chocolate” on Oct. 27.

The film showcases young children who are illegally trafficked on the Ivory Coast of West Africa and are forced to chop trees and carry heavy bags of cocoa beans for little to no pay.

The club, founded by sophomores Robbie Waddell and Estelle Richardson, was formed in spring 2011 after the two discovered a common passion for eliminating modern-day slavery.

“We believe being at a school where social justice is very important, it would be good idea to start this club,” Waddell said.

According to Waddell, the San Francisco Bay Area is one of the hot spots for human trafficking in the United States.

“Our mission for the club is to have a group of students that have the desire to take action in response to the reality of human trafficking that occurs both locally and internationally,” Waddell continued.

A few club members will be attending the Global Forum on Human Trafficking this weekend in Sunnyvale. Celebrities such as the creator of Twitter and Giants pitcher Jeremy Affeldt will attend to speak about solutions to global slavery.

Study Abroad Week Takes Off Advising offered for students who plan to travel Jackie Pearce

ANDERS RODIN — THE SANTA CLARA

Students interact with advisors from the Study Abroad Office in Benson. This week, abroad programs are tabling for interested students to learn more and apply. While programs for the fall are popular, there are also a number of options for winter and spring.

The only exception is for students who are applying for Santa Clara programs, such as Rome or London.

Some students have only found frustration with the technical process. Sophomore Lauren Ito said that she has been struggling to find summer programs. “I am undeclared, so I cannot go abroad during the school year.”

According to the Study Abroad Office, over 60 percent of the 430 students who went abroad last year left during the fall. In order to go abroad students need to have completed at least 88 credits and have reached junior status. When students are unable to go during the fall, students can also go to a few

tions: call the police or turn a blind eye. Sessions has called the police a few times — once as she was driving home and saw a pair of younger men literally getting out and dumping the entire contents of recycling bins into the trunk of their Mazda truck one by one. This was the kind of circumstance she felt warranted legal action. “There are a whole bunch of technicalities,” she explained.

Picking up $1,000 recycling bins and dumping contents out one after another is not only stealing, but can result in an issue of vandalism as well. Therefore, each violator has to be summed up depending on the circumstances. In the case of the can collectors at Santa Clara, most cans are left out on lawns or in bags, sometimes specifically for the collectors. Sergeant Rodriguez affirmed that the SCPD typically does not get involved unless students or residents voice dissent.

Sergeant Jerry Rodriguez, who is in charge of the Nuisance Depression Unit of the SCPD, points out that it’s essentially “money that’s free for the taking until someone calls and complains.”

Based on Ho and the other’s continued presence, this has yet to occur. On one sunny afternoon, Ho pulled up on Bellomy Street a little after 2 p.m. There, he saw his boys — the ones that acknowledge him. They clapped and hooted when he came up, throwing down their aluminum cans like rain from the roof. They’d saved them specifically for him throughout the day. In exchange for the student’s cans, Ho occasionally gives them cigarettes,

The Santa Clara This week students at Santa Clara interested in study abroad programs have the chance to learn more about studying abroad.

Senior Lisa Giusti, who studied abroad in Italy last fall, called the abroad experience life changing. “I gained so much independence and understanding outside of the Santa Clara bubble.”

Representatives from the various study abroad programs will be tabling all week to answer questions about courses, cost or other relevant information as part of study abroad week. The schedule of events can be found on the study abroad website.

According to Study Abroad Peer Advisor and Workshop Series Coordinator Julie Gamez there are a few major changes for the application process. Students planning to study abroad summer or fall 2012 now have until January 13 to complete their petition.

In the past, the deadline to petition has been much earlier in the year. “This gives students enough time to receive their fall grades and ensure that they have the necessary GPA for the program they petition for,” said Gamez.

The other major change is that students must now send their applications to the program provider, rather than applying first through Santa Clara’s study abroad office.

cleans their dishes or even takes out their trash. He doesn’t speak English, but a nod or a thumbs up are usually enough to break the language barrier.

By early evening that day, Ho had collected over five large trash bags worth of recyclable material — anywhere between 600 or 700 cans. From there, he and his wife could turn them in to one of the 2,200 recycling centers all over the state, with three centers existing around the university alone. The aluminum cans are then sent to a mill and melted down and refabricated, explained Aaron Luu, a representative who has worked at Danny Recycling for about five or six years. If Ho takes his cans to Ranch Town Recycling Center, for example, he will get two dollars a pound, which equals about 30 cans.

All he’ll need to show is a California ID. At this rate, if Ho and his wife collect about 700 cans, the pair would get roughly $46 for a day’s work — an insubstantial “wage” for daily life in the United States.

In countries like India, China and Paraguay, people live off of what they find in the trash alone.

According to research conducted

by Martin Medina, an international expert on the informal recycling sector, roughly one percent of the urban population sustains life through this method. However, for a majority of the can collectors at Santa Clara, survival doesn’t seem to be the goal. Despite this, the idiom stands: one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Contact Kate Flannery at kflannery@scu.edu for more information about can collectors.

Santa Clara approved destinations in the winter, spring or summer.

Senior Meghan Weiler, who studied abroad in Australia last year, had an internship in the fall and went abroad in the spring. “I would recommend (studying abroad sometime other than fall), especially because having the summer to fall back on was great. I didn’t feel pressure to rush home and get adjusted to home life, I was able to travel to New Zealand and make the most of my travel abroad,” she said.

According to the Study Abroad office, the most popular destination is Santa Clara’s London. While many choose to venture to Europe, students can also go to Australia or

Africa. If students don’t want to stay travel internationally, they can stay stateside and study in Washington DC. Giusti studied in Florence, Italy last fall. “My experience was life changing. I gained so much independence and understanding outside of the Santa Clara bubble,” said Giusti.

Giusti suggests that students step out of their comfort zone when choosing where to go abroad. “Don’t choose to go to London just because there would be no language barrier,” she said.

the victim’s cardiac patterns and determine if a shock is required.

According to Taheny, the installations cost the university around $1,600, but “if one person knows what to do and saves a life, than it’s all worth it.”

Assistant Director of Emergency Medical Services senior Andrew Peterson said that it’s great that the school was willing to put down the money to make the campus safer.

“AEDs are really important for any cardiac situation to really get them on people right away,” he said.

The AEDs are consistent with those used by the Santa Clara Fire Department. Peterson said that this streamlines the emergency response service, since SCFD can just download the information retrieved by Santa Clara EMTs. EHS is planning to hold CPR training sessions for students and staff throughout the year which will also teach people how to use the AEDs. The next traning session will be on Nov. 9.

Taheny said that they want the training program to have a variety of people from the different areas on campus so that there will be someone trained with the device at any major building. Even though there are training sessions being held, “I’d rather have somebody push the button and follow the instructions than not attempt to save me,” said Taheny.

CARTOON BY AUSTIN ALLEMAN

FACEBOOK.COM

Most of the images seen above would be considered appropriate profile pictures to be viewed by any variety of Facebook friends.

A

lmost everyone has heard the stories of problematic profile pictures: A 24-yearold public high school teacher who is forced to resign from her position because of a Facebook photo of her holding an alcoholic beverage.

Or two Pizza Hut employees fired over vulgar pictures that displayed one of the workers licking a whisk that was used to mix the dough, along with photos of the employees posing with sexual intent as they grasped food.

Many people have seen other incriminating profile pictures too: the group of hardcore party animals who pose together holding the emblem of college partying — the generic red plastic cup, or the girl who is fastidiously photoshopped and acne-free , or the kissing couple that frequently fills up your News Feed with their awkward public displays of affection.

The influence that profile pictures can have on our feelings and thoughts about others are rather prominent, especially since your profile picture is generally the first thing that people notice on your page or glimpse at in a thumbnail.

The most common mistake I have observed on Facebook is when a user sets an image of him or herself either drinking or smoking as his or her profile picture. Although such a picture may score the user more popularity points, it can ultimately tarnish his or her chances of ever obtaining his dream job.

In spite of the belief that it is unjust, or possibly even illegal for employers to “Facebook stalk” potential employees, it is common knowledge that employers do choose to check out Facebook

profiles and, like others, they form assumptions about their potential or already hired employees solely by browsing their pictures. Indeed, the social role that profile pictures can play is crucial in peoples employment and personal life.

Along with profile pictures that suggest or advocate illegal activity, another pet peeve of mine — albeit one I have been guilty of in the past — is when a user (usually female) overly airbrushes her face or does extensive amounts of Photoshop,

The social role that profile pictures can play is crucial in peoples employment and personal life. fiddling with her body to the point that she looks as genuine as her fake tan. No one should ever look that plastic in a profile picture.

Though a profile picture of someone who has excessively edited herself is not necessarily deemed as sleazy, trashy or inappropriate, it can denote that the user feels insecure about her natural features.

Yes, it may be reasonable to remove a pimple or two. Yes, if I were you, I would also attempt to erase that seaweed in between your two front teeth after eating Benson’s delectable sushi rolls. However, to create a portrait that appears to

look like a different person truly exudes insecurity.

Lastly, profile pictures of kissing couples can, in the long run, stir regret. It is understandable for married couples to feature profile pictures of them sharing a smooch, but if a couple has been in a relationship for less than a year, and the couple uploads pictures of them kissing, that may be problematic.

What if the couple breaks up?

And what if the break up is disastrous?

On the other hand, pictures of couples can be a breath of fresh air among all the negative portrayals of intimacy and relationships found in society.

To those of you who have pictures of yourselves drinking or smoking on Facebook, my primary hope is that you consider deleting them. To the ladies who fancy the plethora of possibilities that Photoshop offers, I encourage you to simply be yourself because you are beautiful. To the couples out there, ask yourself how long you have been together before posting an intimate photo. Or, you can just show each other love via Facebook chat. That works, too.

Wall Street Whiners N ow five weeks old, the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations consist of a motley gang of people that range from socialists to libertarians. Numerous signs advocate for the execution of Wall Street employees, the return of Crystal Pepsi, or simply state, “My arms are tired!” It amazes me how some of these people (a number of whom are Starbucks-toting, Leviand-Converse-garbed, and iPhonetweeting) can simultaneously call for Wall Street’s blood and stand in silence for Steve Jobs.

But what do these people actually want? That depends on who you ask.

Sources like The Huffington Post and The Guardian state that they are protesting against social and economic inequality, corporate greed, and the influence of corporate money and lobbyists on government. Meanwhile, US News asserts that some of the college graduate protestors are clamoring for the U.S. government to forgive all student loans — which would immediately add $1 trillion to our $14.88 trillion national debt and lead to the total collapse of our already struggling education system.

I think that at the core of this whole public fiasco is our generation’s delusional sense of entitlement and people relying too much on Social Security. A retired citizen is supposed to receive income from three places: a Social Security check from the government, a 401kretirement savings plan and their personal savings account. According to Brian Riedl, a heritage expert, “Entitlements and other obligations are driving deficits. Specifically, social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and net interest costs... The Bush tax cuts are a convenient scapegoat

for past and future budget woes. But it is the dramatic upward arc of federal spending that is the root of the problem,” he said in The Wall Street Journal.

I couldn’t agree more. In his two and a half years, President Barack Obama has managed to rack up over $5 billion in debt. Most economists will tell you the economy is still stagnant, and the U.S. Department of Labor puts the national unemployment rate at 9.1%. Fuel prices have seen huge spikes, 50 million people are reliant on food stamps and Congress recently downgraded the national credit. Our President has railed against “fat cat bankers” and the “millionaires and billionaires” in between his trips to Martha’s Vineyard, Vail and Southern Spain.

Many websites even claim that Barack and Michelle took two separate planes to the same location merely four hours apart. All the carbon footprint rhetoric goes right out the window when it comes to the White House’s use of taxpayerfunded fossil fuels.

So to the protestors: what you’re doing is not going to impress or motivate the most influential executives and politicians who have dedicated themselves to a lifetime of work, focus, compromise and delayed gratification.

In this life, you get what you earn.

Expecting “the man” in power to just give away what has taken a lifetime to earn is naive, foolish and fraught with disappointment. My advice is to engage the system and change it as a successful member, not standing out in the cold as a disaffected whiner.

Fall TV Lineup Fails to Impress

The Playboy Club

Charlie's Angels

BRIGHTESTYOUNGTHINGS.COM

After premiering to 5.02 million viewers (the lowest in its timeslot and less than half of its competitors), the 1960s period drama lost 27 percent of its viewers by its third episode. Apparently, sex can't sell everything, especially wooden acting and a crime drama plotline wrapped up inside a PG-13 portrayal of the R-rated “Playboy” brand. Amidst low ratings and numerous protests over the show's sexual content, NBC dropped the show from its fall lineup.

While NBC News will debut “Rock Center with Brian Williams” in the timeslot on Oct. 13, the network will replace the sex-fueled drama with "Smash" on Feb. 5, 2012.

Despite the brand recognition, the remake of the 1970s classic action show premiered to a dismal 8.76 million viewers and continued to suffer from low ratings. By the fourth and final episode, the show attracted only 5.91 million viewers. The moment this show’s timeslot was announced, it was destined for disappointment: the last ABC show to last longer than one season airing Thursdays at 8 p.m. was the Robin Williams sitcom "Mork and Mindy," which premiered in 1978 and was cancelled in 1982. ABC will broadcast “holiday specials” until it finds a midseason replacement.

This sitcom follows two former high school classmates, show creator David Hornsby’s uptight columnist and Kevin Dillon’s free-spirited trainer, as they form a new friendship. To illustrate the show’s unoriginal premise, the punchline in an ad for the show features the lead actor literally getting punched in the arm. After two episodes, the show was moved to TV’s dead zone — Saturday nights — and its ratings dropped to 2.43 million viewers (the lowest in its timeslot compared to all major networks). CBS cancelled the show soon afterwards and replaced it with Happy Madison Productions' sitcom "Rules of Engagement."

When the show’s numbers failed to improve, star Hank Azaria appealed to his Twitter followers to save the series. Despite his social media campaign, the show lost nearly half of its viewers by the fourth episode, and NBC axed the series.

Scene Spotlight

A Laugh-Filled Evening With Groucho SCUPresents Kicks Off Its New Visiting Artists Series Keli Demertzis

The Santa Clara The arts can make us laugh or cry, inspire us, move us and — most importantly — entertain us.

Frank Ferrante's one-man show, "An Evening With Groucho," succeeded in doing just that.

The one-night-only comedy show hosted by SCUPresents, starred Ferrante as Groucho Marx and featured Jim Furmston on the piano. Ferrante, who is also a producer and director, has starred in shows such as “Groucho: A Life in Revue,” in which he won New York’s Theatre World Award in 1987. Furmston is also a composer and recitalist, and he has spent time in Hollywood accompanying singers.

On Saturday night, Mayer Theater was nearly filled to capacity.

Proceeds from the show funded Fusion Science Theatre, a Madison, Wisconsin-based outreach program for elementary schools that combines science education and playwriting exercises in order to engage young students.

For those who are unaware of Marx’s influence on the entertainment business, the New York Times described Marx as “America’s most gifted funny man.” Known for his brash sense of comedy, his irreverent and physical humor, and his emphasis on audience involvement, Marx became famous for his Broadway acts, as well as his films during the 1930s and 1940s.

As the 90-minute tribute began, Ferrante stood onstage as himself, and the audience watched him gradually transform into Marx, using dark makeup to draw on Marx’s trademark thick, black eyebrows and an over the top mustache. Ferrante’s energetic performance proved that he was Groucho not only in looks, but also in spirit. He used the entire stage as he kicked up

his heels, galloped and danced in Marx’s signature over the top way.

Also reminiscent of Marx’s signature performance style, Ferrante went into the audience and poked fun at vulnerable spectators. At one point, he picked up a ringing phone, then jumped into the audience and handed it over to a man. “Its for you, sir!” he cried. “It’s your wake-up call!”

One audience member’s bald head became Ferrante’s crystal ball. And, during the second act, Ferrante replicated his own stage makeup on a 15-year-old boy, handed him a fake cigar, and introduced him as the next Groucho. “I can’t do this show forever!” Ferrante yelled into the audience.

Ferrante has performed 2,500 times as Groucho across the nation. His acts are comprised of hilarious songs, silly dances moves and over-the-top audience participation, all while narrating the life of Marx.

“An Evening with Groucho” was recently chosen by NPR as one of the nation’s top five, oneman shows, and Ferrante’s performance clearly illustrated the reason why. His comical stage presence was consistent throughout the whole production, which left viewers laughing after the show ended and as Ferrante and Furnstom signed autographs and took photos.

“Frank (Ferrante) doesn’t just do Groucho,” said Groucho Marx’s daughter Miriam Marx Allen, in a statement on the show’s main website. “He is Groucho.”

The show also kicked off the new Visiting Artists Series, which will continue throughout the academic year. With the series, SCUPresents, Santa Clara University’s renamed Center of Performing Arts, has given students an opportunity to view the work of professional performing artists, ranging from comedies to musical recitals, without having to leave campus.

“An Evening With Groucho” is the first of professional performances that will grace the Santa Clara campus.

MYTHICALMONKEY.BLOGSPOT.COM

Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx entertained American audiences in the 1930s and 1940s with his vaudeville-inspired makeup and physical comedic acts. Actor, producer and director Frank Ferrante portrays Marx in "An Evening With Groucho."

“This series will strengthen our commitment to the arts by bringing the finest professional artists to the Santa Clara community,” said Butch Coyne, director of SCUPresents, in a statement

BRONCO BRIEFS Women's Soccer The No. 19 Broncos picked up their second conference win of the season on Sunday by shutting out USF, 5-0. Freshman Sofia Huerta continued her strong play, scoring two goals to lead Santa Clara. Margueritte Aozasa, Kathryn McAuliffe and Julie Johnston also had a goal apiece for the Broncos, who have won six of their last seven contests. Santa Clara (9-1-5; 2-0-1) will travel to Portland on Friday to take on the Pilots (6-7-1; 1-2).

Men's Soccer The Broncos were unable to halt their longest losing streak of the season, falling 2-0 at San Diego on Sunday. With the loss, Santa Clara (6-5-3; 2-4-0) has now lost four consecutive games, while getting shut out in each of those defeats. Patrick Wallen and Elijah Galbraith-Knapp each scored goals for the Torreros (7-5-1: 4-4-1), who have risen to the top of the WCC standings. The Broncos return home on Oct. 28, when they host LMU at 7:30 p.m.

Women's Volleyball Santa Clara could not get past Saint Mary's last Saturday, losing in five sets. The set scores were 25-27, 16-25, 25-18, 25-11 and 15-12. Freshman Taylor Milton led the Broncos with 13 kills and 10 digs while teammate Katherine Douglas chipped in with 10 kills and 11 digs.

San Francisco 49ers' head coach Jim Harbaugh (far left) and Detroit Lions' head coach Jim Schwartz (far right) have to be separated after Schwartz objected to Harbaugh's exhuberant hand shake and slap on the back after the 49ers defeated the Lions on Sunday at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich.

Head coaches get into scuffle after 49ers hand Lions first loss Nick Ostiller

The Santa Clara Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz have helped turn San Francisco and Detroit into contenders, earning plenty of attention for the energy and attitude they bring to the sidelines.

That intensity was on full display Sunday during a postgame dustup after the 49ers handed the Lions their first loss of the season. Harbaugh, the San Francisco coach, ran across the field and gave his Detroit counterpart an enthusiastic handshake and a hard slap on the back.

Schwartz objected to to the gestures and chased Harbaugh back toward the tunnel, but the two were kept separated as players gathered and appeared to restore order. Students at Santa Clara, home to many 49ers fans, have been discussing the incident all week.

“It seemed really unnecessary that (Schwartz) got so upset,” said sophomore Megan Tenes. “Just because (Harbaugh) was excited doesn’t mean that (Schwartz) has a right to start a fight about it. It just seemed stupid.”

Sophomore Jason Oledan added that Schwartz "had been notorious for being obnoxious with his huge fist pumps and playing emotional."

"So it wasn't a huge surprise that Schwartz took it personally," said Oledan, who defended Harbaugh.

"I do not blame (Harbaugh) at all," continued Oledan. "He was just fired up (because) last week's game was a statement game."

Schwartz explained his actions afterwards and felt that although the 49ers beat his Lions, the occasion did not call for such exuberance from Harbaugh.

"I went to congratulate Coach Harbaugh and got shoved out of the way," Schwartz said after his team's 25-19 loss.

"I didn't expect an obscenity at that point.

Obviously, when you win a game like that, you are excited, but there is a protocol."

Harbaugh took the blame, but wasn't about to tone down his excitement after the big win. "That's totally on me," Harbaugh said. "I shook his hand too hard."

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the incident will be reviewed.

The 49ers have been a surprising success story so far this year under Harbaugh, who is in his first year as an NFL head coach after having led the Stanford Cardinal to the Orange Bowl last season. The local pride can be felt at Santa Clara.

“I was thinking it was going to be a hard transition for (Harbaugh) from college to the NFL, as it has historically been for college coaches who have gone to the NFL,” said sophomore Andrew Metzger. “But he has made a nice smooth transition.”

The 49ers’ 5-1 start has not only led to heightened excitement around campus, but also anticipation about the team’s possible relocation to the city of Santa Clara.

“I’m excited for when they actually come to Santa Clara,” said a hopeful Metzger. “We’re going to get season tickets so it’s going to be nice to watch a winning team.”

As for the game on Sunday, the 49ers showed that they are indeed a winning team capable of making the necessary plays down the stretch of close games.

Quarterback Alex Smith threw a goahead 6-yard scoring pass to Delanie Walker on fourth down for San Francisco with 1:51 left in the game, and the 49ers

added a field goal less than a minute later for the final margin.

Detroit (5-1) lost for the first time in 10 regular-season games dating to last year. The Lions also won all four of their preseason games. Walker's touchdown stood after video review didn't show definitively whether the San Francisco tight end's right knee was down before the ball reached the goal line. "I knew I got in there," Walker said. "I crossed the plane, but we were in their house and we got some bad calls early on in the game.

But I didn't think twice about it."

After Walker's touchdown made it 2219, Detroit had a chance to drive for a tying field goal or a go-ahead touchdown, but couldn't get a first down against a swarming defense that hit and confused quarterback Matthew Stafford from the start.

David Akers gave San Francisco (5-1) a six-point lead with 1:02 to go with a 37yard field goal, and the Lions did no better with their next attempt at a winning drive.

Smith was 17 of 32 for 125 yards, going early and often to Michael Crabtree, who had nine receptions for 77 yards. Frank Gore ran 15 times for 141 yards and scored a touchdown that pulled the 49ers within three after they were outscored 10-0 in the first quarter.

The 49ers, who overcame 15 penalties in the game, are not only atop the NFC West, but they're opening up some ground. Second-place Seattle (2-3) had an open date. "I've never been a part of anything like this, especially since I've been a pro," Smith said. "The defense played unbelievable today. They deserve all the credit."

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Julie Johnston Soccer The sophomore business major had two assists and a goal in Santa Clara's 5-0 victory against USF on Sunday.

Who is your biggest role model?

My soccer role models are either Messi or Iniesta, but for life role models, my parents are perfect. They give me the best advice and always put things in perspective.

Favorite pump-up song to listen to before a game?

Anything I can dance to in the locker room. The more upbeat the better.

What do you want to do following college?

I want to play soccer as long as possible or somehow be involved around sports.

Santa Clara Hosts Annual Bronco Invite Men's and women's teams finish 12th, 19th respectively Gabe Taylor

The Santa Clara Despite the familiar environment and excellent weather conditions at Baylands Park in Sunnyvale, Calif., the final results of the Bronco Invitational were not what the Santa Clara cross country team had expected.

“We started out the season by setting some really lofty goals for ourselves as a team and overall, I feel we haven’t quite really performed up to those standards,” said senior Robbie Reid.

Racing in front of family, friends and fans, the men's and women's teams sought out success amid about 800 participants.

The men secured a 12th place finish behind Robbie Reid and Ben Demaree, who both turned in stellar performances.

With a time of 24:13.4, Reid managed to sail into 10th place at the Bronco Invite.

“All in all, I thought it was a good result for me,” said Reid. “I finally feel like I’m rounding back into racing shape.”

Throughout the race, Demaree stayed right on Reid’s heels.

“It is a strong motivating force knowing your teammate is there going through and experiencing all the same things you are,” said Reid. “You can help each other out and feed off of the other person’s energy.”

Arriving four seconds after Reid was fellow teammate Demaree, recording a time of 24:17.3. The two have grown accustomed to remaining near one another for the majority of the races. Earlier this season at the Stanford Invitational, Reid and Demaree crossed the line in 16th and 17th place respectively in the 8K. “Ben is an outstanding young

runner, and is definitely someone to watch in the coming years,” said Reid of his teammate.

Leading the women’s team to a 19th place finish was junior Mary Reynolds.

“We were a little disappointed,” said Reynolds, who was dissatisfied that Santa Clara was unable to carry over their strong performances from the Charles Bowles Invitational in Salem, Ore. to their home invite.

The Broncos had snagged second place at Willamette University two weeks prior to hitting the Baylands Park terrain.

Reynolds’ sub 18:30 time proved to be the best of any Bronco on the women’s side.

“It wasn’t terrible; it wasn’t great. I’m just looking forward to conference,” said Reynolds.

Youthful feet followed in her tracks as freshmen Mary Kriege and Kelly Ryan were the next Broncos to dash past the finish line.

The West Coast Conference Championships, held Oct. 29, are up next on Santa Clara’s schedule.

According to R e y n o l d s, t h e w o m e n ’s t e a m is gunning for at least fifth place. But with the addition of Brigham Young to an already competitive conference that includes Loyola Marymount, the University of San Francisco and Portland, she realizes it will not be an easy feat.

“As much as we can get our pack up with theirs, that will just make for a really great race,” Reynolds.

For many of the runners, the conference tournament is what it all comes down to.

“We have just about two weeks until our conference meet at Crystal Springs in Belmont, and I know that when the time comes we will be ready to step up as a team and perform the way we know we are capable of,” said Reid.

“Ben is an outstanding young runner, and is definitely someone to watch in the coming years."

Lost in the Bay Area Shuffle San Jose State is the alma mater to football figures such as Bill Walsh, Dick Vermeil and Jeff Garcia, but you wouldn't know it based on the football program's popularity today.

Walsh won three Super Bowls with the 49ers in the '80s after playing tight end in college. Vermeil was a backup quarterback at San Jose State before coaching the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs.

Garcia was also a quarterback at SJSU and won four Pro Bowls in the NFL, but has always been known more for marrying Playboy model Carmella DeCesare.

Even with these notable alumni, the football team is still irrelevant in California. The most press San Jose State seems to garner is when they play USC as a warm-up game for the Trojans' regular season.

On Friday I went to Spartan Stadium not to watch the home team, San Jose State, but rather to watch Hawaii, a Western Athletic Conference rival that was in town for a nationally televised game. The Hawaii football program has a great following. Spartan Stadium was packed with Hawaiians from the Bay Area and natives who took a four-hour plane ride to catch the game. The Warriors are essentially Hawaii’s national team. The Hawaii Road Warriors tailgating service filled a quarter of San Jose State’s practice field.

There are plenty of reasons why SJSU football doesn’t draw large crowds. They are in the Western Athletic Conference playing teams such as Louisiana Tech, Idaho and Utah State.

They are not in the Pac-12 where they would be playing the likes of Stanford, USC and Oregon. There is also a lot of football options in the Bay Area. The Raiders and 49ers have strong followings along with Cal and Stanford traditionally fielding strong teams.

Spartan Stadium (capacity: 30,456), which opened in 1933, is hardly a mecca like Stanford Stadium (renovated 2006, 50,000) or California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley (renovated for 2012 season, 63,000). In fact, mention Spartan Stadium and most people (even in California) will think of the arena in East Lansing, home to the Michigan State football team, which seats 75,005.

The Hawaii-SJSU game was a good experience. Sections 131-34, which housed the road team’s fans, were rocking as the Warriors came back from a 20-7 halftime deficit by forcing fivestraight turnovers and went up 27-22, only to lose 28-27 in the final seconds.

Even Krazy George Henderson, the man who claims to have created ‘the wave’ during a 1981 Major League Baseball playoff game in Oakland between the Athletics and Yankees, was beating his drum and got the crowd into the game.

Besides the exciting game, it is also fun to say I spent the evening in the same venue that Bill Walsh, Dick Vermeil and that guy who married Carmella DeCesare once played.

BRIAN KLAHN — THE SANTA CLARA

Santa Clara's David Guibord attempts a shot during a game against UCLA last Sunday at the Sullivan Aquatic Center. The Broncos were unable come away with the upset, as the No. 3 Bruins picked up the victory by a score of 12-9. Santa Clara (11-11) looks to reverse its fortunes when the team hosts the Rodeo Tournament from Oct. 21-23.

The Santa Clara The Santa Clara men’s water polo team seemed to have caught a break prior to its game against UCLA, but soon realized that was not the case. The Broncos ended up on the short end of a 12-9 score in the non-conference matchup.

The No. 3 Bruins were forced to go through warm-ups and introductions without their swim caps, which had been left in the team vehicle outside of the Sullivan Aquatic Center. Although initially unprepared, UCLA was all business once the game started, and went on to defeat the Broncos.

It was Santa Clara's sixth loss in its last eight contests, but head coach Keith Wilbur was impressed with the way his team played regardless of the end result.

“I liked the way the guys played hard throughout,” said Wilbur, who is in his ninth season at the helm. “They never gave up and they were always going after it,

which is good.”

It was clear early on that UCLA posed a major challenge as Bronco players could be heard commenting on the speed of their opponent during timeouts. But Santa Clara was able to hang with the Bruins in the first half, trailing only six to four at intermission.

The Broncos lost some of their steam in the beginning of the second half as UCLA opened the third quarter with two quick scores. This appeared to be the turning point in the game, as Santa Clara was faced with a steeper uphill climb.

Senior goalkeeper Michael Wishart, who is fast approaching Santa Clara’s all-time career saves record, admitted the differences in the beginning of the second half were some defensive inconsistencies.

“I kind of lost a little bit of focus in the first couple minutes (of the second half ),” said Wishart.

“We need to (develop) that mentality of just playing to win rather than playing not to lose, especially against teams like UCLA.” Following their short lapse after halftime, the Broncos quickly found themselves trailing 8-4, but still did not display signs of distress.

Battling back for the remain-

der of the game, Santa Clara showed some poise coming down the stretch. Redshirt sophomore Theo Nasser led the Broncos with three goals on the day and freshman Mark Davis scored twice, both in the second half.

“I just picked my shots,” said Davis. “I tried to see where the shot-blocker was and tried to place it in the cage, and it ended up working out well.”

Santa Clara had several chances to narrow the deficit late in the game, but the Bruins demonstrated why they are ranked No. 3 in the nation — always finding a way to respond to a Bronco goal with a score of their own.

Cristiano Mirarchi, Paul Reynolds and Jed Springer each tallied two goals for UCLA. Wishart continued his solid defensive season with 12 saves, but it was not enough against the highly ranked Bruins. The goalkeeper still felt the Broncos made progress as a team, albeit in a losing effort.

“It was great, especially since in the beginning of the season when we played those kinds of teams we hadn’t done very well,” said Wishart. “Just to be a lot more competitive with (UCLA) is a step in the right direction.”

Coach Wilbur also expanded

on the defensive effort of Santa Clara, which has shown signs of progression.

“Defensively we did a lot of good things that game to slow them down,” said Wilbur. “I still think we made some mistakes that we can learn from, but I think (this game) shows the guys what level they’re capable of playing at and gives them some confidence for when we come back to our conference.”

Wilbur also looked back on the beginning of the season as a way to assess the progress his team has since made.

“I thought our team played really well,” said Wilbur. “Our second game of the season was against (then No. 2) Cal and that score was 21-3 so our guys have been improving over the course of the season."

The Broncos will look to reverse their fortunes when they host the annual Rodeo Tournament next weekend, held at the Sullivan Aquatic Center. Santa Clara (11-11) will play a total of five games over the course of the weekend, kicking off the festivities with a match against Brown University (10-5) on Oct. 21 at 5:00 p.m.
